Cardigan Corgi

Thank you for this pleasing entry both in numbers and mostly overall quality. All temperaments were good and presentation was excellent.

1st Irving, Twinan Dragon Rider. An impressive individual of obvious quality with such ring presence. On inspection he is masculine in head, good width in skull with plenty in foreface with correct dentition. He is clear in eye which gives off an intelligent expression all topped off with well placed large ears which are mobile at all times. He has good length in neck which flows into a clean front assembly. Ribbing is extended well back to a firm loin. He stands on quality bone with large well padded feet. On the move he displayed a free flowing stride with good drive from the rear whilst holding an eye-catching profile on the go around and was presented in excellent coat and condition. Despite his tender age the more I looked the more he impressed me. So BP, CC and BoB. Informed after judging that his was his second CC. one for the upper house for sure!

2nd Clifton, Joseter McLaren Elva. Another smart individual of correct breed type. My notes say close up to the winner. Head displays correct balance with a kind expressive eye with well placed large ears. Plenty in neck with good front assembly. Topline is level with ribbing extended well back. Bone and feet good Another that went well on the out and back and was presented in good order. Will continue to catch the eye!
